Canada

The Grotto Tobermory Bruce Peninsula National Park Ontario Canada

As for a newcomer to Canada I would like to explore nature often. To be honest, I'm an indoor person and I was reluctant to go anywhere and just wanted to stay home. The first time my family and I went somewhere we went to Bruce Peninsula in Tobermory. The drive took about 3 hours. The number one thing about driving is being bored. My family had a clear sharing of responsibilities during the vacation. Normally my husband is responsible for driving and I’m responsible to feed and take care of my daughters. My oldest daughter is responsible for GPS and my youngest daughter is responsible for where we eat and sleep. When we arrived at Bruce Peninsula, the beauty was beyond imagination. The view was marvelous and splendid. There were white stones polished by water like dinosaur eggs. We had to admire the power of nature and the advantages of geographical resources. The water was so clear you could see the bottom and the seaweed. The seaweed floated in the water like it was dancing. My favourite part was lying on a hot rock in the sun. It was like an open spa. I closed my eyes and could feel the heat from the rock and the heat spread all over my body while I could hear the sound of the water. At that moment I was the happiest person in the world. After two days of fun, we headed back home reenergized and cheerful.
